LYRICS:
when the king comes down to speak
with animals
animals…

with his claws out for a feast
a cannibal
cannibal…

when we crawl out to the brink
to meet and greet
with a wink…

pull the rug out from underneath
this cannibal
cannibal…

who is gonna break the ice
no room for shallow alibis
who will be the first to bite
or do we keep on playing nice
until the next time…

hey
it’s too late
i’ve been here before the change
this latest phase…

if the king bows to our feet
a cannibal’s
a cannibal…

who is gonna break the ice
no room for shallow alibis
who will be the first to bite
or do we keep on playing nice
until the next time…

Cannibal

I don't  know, I really like Allison Argent and I really like that she follows her own rules but I can't stand when UST gets dragged out forever and that's exactly what's happening with this whole Allison/Isaac I'm-not-dating-another-werewolf plotline. So here is a song about that.

Lyrics:
I’ve seared my heart under my skin
So nothing but the cold seeps in
And either way there’s nothing left to take
I’d drag myself through ash and bone
And wind up standing all alone
But it’s better than letting your hands seal my fate
I won’t be the thing my aunt moulded from clay
And I’m not the girl my mother died to save

You can’t steal my heart from me

The mortar of my family tree
Is mostly bile and blood, and we
All put in our hard work to help it grow
But I follow a different code
‘Cause monsters are less bricks than bone
And you can’t build home by loading up your bow

So here’s the deal that I will make
To keep the darkness just at bay
And tether your most willing soul to me
I will not pluck your heart from you
Out of respect, you’ll leave mine too
And forever we’ll be stalwart, we’ll be free
But we’ll crash against each other like the sea
Please find solace in my body

But you can’t steal my heart from me

Allison, all contrary
Grow my garden mostly wary
You will tear the root out with the rest
So take my body, take my mind
Take everything, but leave behind
The spark that’s burning sluggish in my chest 

So here we are, we happy two
And all the things I want to do
To strip you bare beneath my shaking frame
But I’ll refrain from giving in
And even though I know you’ll win
I’ll keep swearing up and down that it’s the same
That having you will bring my family shame
A rose by any other name

So please don’t steal my heart from me
I won’t let you steal my heart from me

Sometimes I write things and sometimes I play the ukulele. This page mostly involves the second one.
